I want it NOW or Jumping off the Train

You invest in work out clothes, gym equipment or better yet, a gym membership.
As well as Health and Diet books, expensive vitamins, ....etc etc etc

Your ready.... "tomorrow" you get on board to the "land of Health and Wellness".

Let's just say, YOU DO get on board. (that's a miracle in it self since most of us put off boarding that train for days, and days, and days.....)

You're doing great (for the first few hours of this trip.... hahaha! Maybe even a few days ).

Your excited, pump up at getting to your destination.

But wait.... you look out the window and see a landscape full of See's Lollipop Trees, and Marshmallow clouds.... Over stuffed lounge chairs by a stream... A BIG FAT TV in the Sky with your favorite Show...

Your favorite Fast Food Restaurant!

(whatever.... make up your own picture of what your weaknesses are)

YOU JUMP OFF THE TRAIN

in your delirious "I need"

"self gratification"

desires

Ouch! You got the picture.

How difficult is it to get back on that train?

Especially since..... "hey stupid" you didn't jump off near the next train stop. And you wonder why it's so hard to get back on "the Track".

You got it!

Our self serving, need for instant gratification,

never say no to yourself

L I F E

You see the "cookie, candy, ice cream" and or You see the "Rest, no effort, relax... I deserve it attitude"

and after months of carefully choosing to "stay on the train" jump off just for a lousy,
not even that good "moment of pleasure".

Ahhh....the price we pay for acting like Veruca

( from Willy Wonka)

impulsive behavior.

Wanting every thing N O W !

This blog was started and developed to discover W H Y I am reluctant to"Get on the Train" and Stay on the "TRAIN" . ("Train" of thought!)

It isn't any wonder why people who "exercise and diet" with others or in a group, or with a trainer/coach are more successful. You NEED that support to keep you focused and engaged with GETTING TO YOUR DESTINATION.... staying on the Train.

That's it! It just hit me (epiphany).

B A L A N C E

I AM my own support and coach and cheer leader
I CAN do it when I decided I WILL do it.

Get it : I "WILL" to do it. It is my Will

My "will"

is

my MIND

in sync with my SPIRIT

in sync with my BODY. *****When it's out of sync we are "unhealthy"un-balancedunsuccessfulfearfulsadLiving in defeat*****so.... Reverse that:When it is in Syncwe are "Healthy"successfulLovingJoyfulLiving in "accomplishments"

So, when I jump off the Train (as I have this past week) I need to ask question and then seek the Answer.
